How does ECPIs approach to technical education differ from companies that offer certification training?
ECPI is licensed or approved by each state in which it operates, indicating the college meets the requirements of the state. Many certification companies are not regulated and do not possess a state license. Individuals attending a small unaccredited school that teaches certification classes cannot offer the same financial aid programs and most do not offer real graduate job placement assistance other than agreeing to employ you themselves as a last resort. ECPI teaches the concepts of technology, and then requires students to apply those concepts in lab. This type of instruction requires more time and is more costly to deliver than quickie corporate training.
